About Den Miller
Den Miller is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumental musician and entertaining solo performer, whose fourth studio album, Be Where You Are, was released to great reviews in 2009. Den's songs mix the silly and the serious, often in the same song, but always with his trademark mission statement of a strong melody plus intelligent lyrics.
"A wonderful artist, don't miss this!" - Cathryn Craig & Brian Willoughby
"Anthemic words and symphonic piano make up this completely satisfying finale with a very singable refrain." - Jim Ellison, Tykes News
"Quite honestly, versatile contemporary pop-folk-styled songwriting doesn't come any more classy than this." - David Kidman, NetRhythms
"...beautifully crafted ...this is someone who works hard to get things just right. Great, intelligent lyrics." - Yorkshire Music Collective
"it works well with just voice and guitar as well as a well 'ard core band" - Tykes News
"An unusual 'take' on the world." - Baccapipes Folk Club
Den was formerly singer/guitarist of "The Spooks", a 1990s northern-UK based folk/rock band, who recorded an album, "Ta Verry Much" (why very has a double r is lost in the mists of time) which was enjoyed by a small but loyal following, none of whom were in the music industry. However, in 2006 this was digitally remastered and is now available on CD.
Although "The Spooks" stopped gigging due variously to geography, industry, matrimony and paternity, Den continued to write. There's a bit of a fast forward to 2003 when Den finally recorded a follow-up album "Right, Where Was I?", and "The Spooks" played one of the songs.
Den has also played on various albums recorded by comedy band "Naked Flames" which features his brothers Mick & Joe.
Den's second solo album, "Still A Beautiful World" was released August 2007, and contains 10 original songs which stick to Den's songwriting philosophy of strong melody plus intelligent lyrics. As well as the title track, standout tracks include "Can't Help But Miss The Sun", "Lost", and "One False Move". The only cover version, "Down By The Riverside", is a 9-part harmony a capella version of the traditional "Study War No More".
Den's third solo album, "Be Where You Are", is an acoustic album in order to more closely resemble his current live solo sound. It has 12 new tracks written specifically to perform solo and live.
Den is keen to gig more in West Yorkshire, so please get in touch if you are a venue requiring a versatile singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. Den is also an acoustic regular at Otley, Cross Roads, Stanbury and Keighley (Baccapipes) folk clubs.
